ULTERIO MOTIV’S 6×4 CONVERSION
Ulterio Motiv’s 6×4 conversion employs a so-called “lazy” (non-driven) third axle, which unlocks the desired GVM increase while still enhancing go-anywhere ability.
The lazy axle configuration is more cost effective and lighter than our full 6×6 version, while also greatly reducing complexity and maintenance requirements.
KEY POINTS OF THE 6×4 CONVERSION
Customer provides the standard vehicle
Rear chassis extended to provide longer base
Added load-carrying axle includes brakes
Third axle uses cantilever suspension system
Driven and lazy axles share mass 60:40
Driven axles thus still maintain good traction
Rear track width corrected to match front
Front suspension upgraded as well
Conversion takes about six weeks to complete
ULTERIO MOTIV’S 6×6 CONVERSION
Our 6×6 conversion allow customers to tackle off-road excursions with confidence and boosts the GVM to a whopping 6 050 kg (2 850 kg more than that of the standard vehicle).
This design features a straight-through diff drive from the second to third axle, in combination with a slipper-type clutch to only activate the full 6×6 drive when required.
ADDED POINTS OF THE 6×6 CONVERSION
Third axle is driven rather than 'lazy'
6x6 features three differential locks
Greatly improved off-road capability
Brake booster and braided hoses included
Conversion takes around three months
